Repeatedly produces a full crash with libreoffice (ubuntu 17.10): - Freshly start a new plain impress presentation without template, i.e. the minimum, one white slide and one white master - add a second slide, don't enter or change anything, just a second slide - go to master slide view, create a second master, make it somewhat different to distinguish them, e.g. just a different background color. - go to normal view, select all (i.e. both) slides, and apply the new master to both slides -> crash. Sometimes the chrash message comes immediatly, sometimes it just takes some time and the next action (e.g. view the master slides again) causes the crash.
It seems to depend on how to apply the master. If using the panel on the right hand side, select master pages, and apply one, it crashes. If using the context menu of the selected slides (slide master design), it seems to work.
Thank you for reporting the bug. it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
Just tested it with the libreoffice deb packages for 6.0.1.1 under Ubuntu 17.10. Yes, crash persists. Just looks different. Impress does not show a crash notifier, it just freezes. does not show any response to mouse anymore.
To be certain the reported issue is not related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and re-test? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present
Pretty good hint. I've renamed ~/.config/libreoffice to force libreoffice to create a new one (didn't want do let it „fix” it), and now things work without crash.

Glad it got fixed. Sometimes the profile gets corrupted and unexpected crashes happened. Closing as RESOLVED WONTFIX
